Following a conversation with a friend (who's essentially the authority on music in my group of friends) about gigs we'd been too in 06 I was recommened the Hidden Cameras after I waxed lyrical about seeing Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy). I got their latest album, Awoo, for Christmas and have been listening to it in the background every now and then since New Year. But a few days ago I actually sat down and listened to the album and something just clicked. It was like when I listened to Arcade Fire's 'Funeral' for the third time and Win's vocals suddenly morphed from a bizarre mumble into a beautiful, soulful voice. So as such they're one of my new favourite bands. Seen as they have 2 more albums out I doubt I'm alone in liking the group so does anyone want to hazard their thoughts on the group?

I was also a later comer to the Hidden Cameras, but last year I really fell in love with them. Awoo would be their second best album after The Smell of Our Own; Ban Marriage being by far and away their best song. It's unfortunate that they are known as the band that sings about golden showers because they are beyond catchy, and the lyrics of certain songs are rather clever and often funny. But their albums come nowhere near the amazing experience of seeing them live. Sadly, they didn't really have the go-go dancers with them when I saw them last September, but the band really has a fantastic presence while onstage, and their entire set just made for a really great time.
